Dancing at Whitsun

Somebody brought this to my attention on FB earlier this week. The song "Dancing at Whitsun" was composed by Austin John Marshall [to the tune of "The Week Before Easter"] and is written in memory of the women who upheld the previously all-male Morris Dancing tradition whilst their menfolk were away fighting in The Great War.
